suits. The men in the picture are i'll this
situation. Each has a different ann; they
are vacillating and have no definite idea as
TO how to ShOot-and in consequence the
bird is pretty certain to escape. The wide
diversity of views and the multiplicity of
channels in which run the ambitions
of the human race have been
most forcibly eXemplitied and made clear
through the Aims in Life" department
which has been running in the GLOBE for
the past three Of four weeks. a good pur-
pose has been served, however, and the
GLOBE feels that it has done the people eX
cellent service in giving them an oppor-
tunity to commune with themselves The
inStallment of letters this week are of the
usual interest, and will furnish entertain
ment:and instruction for those who care
fully read them. The department will be
discontinued after this date. So large pro-
portion of the contributors are drifting
away from the real object forIwhich Aims
in Life" was inaugurated that it does not
seem proper to further encourage them.
MARRYING and given in marriage" seem to
he the burden of their songs. There is SO
much of it that the subject grows a trfle
monOtonouS. A great many Of the writers
who talk so much about marriage are earn
est and honest, but there are scores upon
tempted 10 further their nefariouS pur-
poses through this department. Bnt they
have been Summarily checked. The honest
people have been allowed the widest lati
tude. but the designing rogues have Jared
badly. \ buShel Of letters from this latter
class have been destroyed by the GLOBE
this week. They have simply had their
trouble for their pains. To those who have
contributed to the success of the depart
mpnt by writing letters within the legit-
mate scOpe-keeping in view a proper con-
CeptiOn or the objects for which it was
eslablished-the GLOBE makes tender of
its grateful thanks. while for those
Who have attempted to take a
is nothing but contempt aims
IN Life" has been source of pleasure and
profit 10 the masses OF the people, who have
given ample evidence of their warm feeling
OF regard for the GLOBE, which has no
higher ambition than to he known as the
peoples paper. There are several queer
features connected with the correspondence
this week. Two of the writer's sign them
selves "Schoolmarm No. q" They have
evidently read of the good luck of the
original Schoolmarm. and hope to meet the
same fate. Men at st. Peter, Mimi, Elma.
Ia, and st. Paul evidently have similar
anOIlNeS. 1Lelf letters are printed, as Salll-
Dles of the hundreds which have been de-
tstroyed. The man at st. Peter writes
ito two different ladies, as does the
one at Elma. while the st. Paul man
syrites to one and then invites others to
write to him. Men who will do this have
no ahonest intention. The address and
name,of the st. Paul man are known, and
the ppostmasters at st. Peter and Elma can
easily.a identify the men who get mail from
boxes named. In each case there is
difference of signature-calcuIated to de-
ceive-but the letters themselves are proof
positive that each of the men wrote two
and directed them to different parties. At
Greenwood, Wis, collision of some sort is
evident, as young girl and young man
have the same postoffice box. to which re-
plies are to be directed. OF course none Of
the'GLoBE's army will be caught by such
chaff.
